Wang Yu was overjoyed. He immediately opened the [Game Map]. As expected, the map showed a welfare point 300 meters away.

"Finally found a welfare point."

Just as Wang Yu was about to ride the Big Cat to check out the welfare, he suddenly thought that this welfare point must be dangerous. So, Wang Yu stopped moving forward.

He thought for a moment, got off the Big Cat's back, and then had the Big Cat walk in front towards the welfare point 300 meters away. He held a torch in one hand and an Entrenching Tool in the other, following behind the Big Cat.

Having the Big Cat scout ahead was undoubtedly his best option now. If they encountered danger ahead, he would have time to react. Although it was dangerous for the Big Cat, it was much better than him encountering danger.

Cat in front, human behind. The man and the cat moved forward slowly. Wang Yu followed about two meters behind the Big Cat, constantly vigilant and observing the surroundings. He knew there must be danger ahead, he just didn't know what it was.

200 meters, nothing.

150 meters, nothing.

Around 100 meters, Wang Yu saw it. He saw something ahead. At the welfare location on the [Game Map], about 100 meters ahead, there were three Emerald Blue Light Spots.

What were those things emitting a faint glow, very strange. And the strangest thing was that the light spots were at a height of over ten meters.

That was the welfare? At that location, with such a light spot, Wang Yu could naturally guess what it was.

Seeing what he had been looking for, Wang Yu became even more cautious. Since he had seen the welfare, where was the danger?

The danger was hidden in the Dark Night, there was no doubt about it.

What he lacked most now was vision, light. It was too dark all around. The illumination provided by a single torch was limited. It was difficult for him to detect the dangers in the Dark Night.

At this moment, Wang Yu had an idea. Since he lacked light, he should create more light.

He was very well-off.

So, Wang Yu took out an Oil Lamp, lit it, and hung it by the roadside. Then, Wang Yu and the Big Cat continued to advance. They cautiously walked about 20 meters, then took out another Oil Lamp, lit it, and hung it on a nearby tree. Wang Yu continued to advance, lighting an Oil Lamp every so often.

Damn it, if Wang Yu had enough Oil Lamps, he would really want to light up the entire wilderness. Unfortunately, he only had four Oil Lamps.

Within 50 meters of the welfare point, Wang Yu lit all four Oil Lamps.

50 meters ahead was still pitch black, and Wang Yu had not encountered any danger. At this point, Wang Yu stopped. Since he hadn't encountered any danger yet, he wasn't in a hurry.

Wang Yu took out Wood from his Backpack, used stones to build a 'Fire Basin', and then started a large Fire Pit in the 'Fire Basin'.

With four Oil Lamps along the way, and now a large Fire Pit, the surroundings became much brighter for a while.

Wang Yu looked towards the fifty meters ahead. The welfare was right there. He continued to advance.

The Big Cat was in front, and Wang Yu was still holding the torch behind. With the Fire Pit behind him, he had a Way Out. He was going to probe what the danger ahead was.

After all, the unknown was the most terrifying thing.

When Wang Yu was only thirty meters away from the reward, he encountered no danger, but he saw the situation ahead.

There was a large tree, over ten meters tall, and the three bright spots were on the tree.

Fruit of the Birch Tree? Wang Yu guessed that the large tree was a Birch Tree, and the reward was the three bright spots on the tree. Wang Yu felt his guess was likely correct.

However, to obtain those three fruits, one would have to climb the tree to pick them.

So where was the danger? This was what Wang Yu wanted to know most right now.

Wang Yu thought for a moment and, just in case, decided to retreat.

First, Wang Yu retrieved the four Oil Lamps he had placed along the way. Thirty meters from the Birch Tree, he hung the Oil Lamps all around.

He lacked light too much in the dark night.

Then, Wang Yu used stones to build a 'Fire Basin' and moved the previously burning Firewood to a spot just thirty meters from the Birch Tree.

Wang Yu wanted to proceed steadily. Since there was no danger at this distance, he decided to 'set up camp' here first and then slowly advance.

He continued forward, with Big Cat in front and him behind.

After advancing only a few meters, suddenly, Big Cat in front leaped as if dodging something.

It was then that Wang Yu saw the Vines on the ground ahead actually move, whipping towards Big Cat as if alive. Fortunately, Big Cat's physique was agile, and he dodged the sudden strike of the Vines.

Wang Yu immediately retreated, simultaneously signaling Big Cat to retreat as well. The Vines, having missed their target, continued to lash out at Big Cat. At the same time, two other Vines on the ground also moved, coiling towards Big Cat.

The Vines on the ground could actually move? And actively attack Big Cat? Fortunately, Big Cat was extremely agile, and with a few leaps between the Vines, he retreated to Wang Yu's side.

Wang Yu didn't linger and continued to retreat.

He knew obtaining the reward wouldn't be easy. It seemed these Vines were protecting the 'Fruit of the Birch Tree'. Wang Yu retreated back to the Fire Pit and saw that the Vines did not pursue him.

This advance had yielded a Harvest, discovering a hidden danger. Fortunately, he was vigilant and had Big Cat scout ahead; otherwise, he would have surely suffered a Hidden Loss from those Vines.

It was also thanks to Big Cat's agility that they escaped the sudden attack of the Vines.

By the Fire Pit, Wang Yu could clearly see the Vines not far ahead. Several Vines writhed on the ground, making one's scalp tingle.

And in the distance, there seemed to be more Vines.

These Vines were thick, as thick as an adult's wrist. To get past these Vines and climb the over ten-meter-tall tree to pick three fruits would likely not be easy.

Wang Yu felt he had to deal with the Vines on the ground first.

He wanted to test the strength of these Vines. Since the Vines hadn't pursued them, it meant this area was temporarily safe. Therefore, Wang Yu wanted to probe the Vines, retreating if he encountered danger.

So, Wang Yu and Big Cat advanced together. Big Cat would be responsible for attracting some of the Vines, while Wang Yu would test their depth.

Wang Yu held a torch in one hand and an Entrenching Tool in the other. He had only walked a few meters when those Vines began to move violently, as if ready to attack him at any moment.

Wang Yu continued forward.

The Vines moved. Some Vines attacked Big Cat, and some Vines attacked Wang Yu. Wang Yu had Big Cat stay at the edge while he also probed the Vines from the edge.

A Vine whipped towards Wang Yu. While dodging, Wang Yu counterattacked with his Entrenching Tool, chopping at it.

"Wo Cao."

This Vine had immense strength. Wang Yu felt his hand go numb from the shock, almost dropping the Entrenching Tool.

However, what was even harder to accept was that Wang Yu discovered the Vine was not even injured by the Entrenching Tool, nor did it show any significant marks.

His goal was to test the hardness of the Vines, but he never expected them to be so incredibly tough.
